When we hit C-h m in the *compilation* buffer, we don't get the tidy
table of keystrokes, just this English blurb about them.
Also there is no keystroke to suspend the compilation. To send it a
C-z, so to say.
I mean I had to go dig up its PID and send it a
$ kill -STOP
And of course remember also a binding to restart it later.
kill-compilation is not always the appropriate choice for stopping things.

Type `C-h b' for a comprehensive list of key bindings.

Given the very simple definition of kill-compilation (7 lines of lisp)
in compile.el and the availability of stop-process and
continue-process in process.c, it would be trivial to implement new
stop-compilation and continue-compilation commands and bind keys to
them in compilation-minor-mode-map (where `C-c C-k' is bound to
kill-compilation).
